40 years old. Haven't been satisfied with a phone-slam since before my first cordless phone in 2001.

Asked and answered but to chime in also: Boxing is not fixed (outside of incidents involving crooked people of course).

Pro Wrestling is choreographed performances. The results of matches are predetermined by the booker. The wrestlers come together before hand, decide between them some 'spots' they wanna do during the match but otherwise go out there and 'call a match' live (giving each other verbal cues to do certain things/do certain things to them which the audience doesn't/can't hear [hopefully, looking at you Cena lol]).

The moves are done in specific ways to minimize actual damage, and wrestlers are trained to land, and take moves in specific ways to minimize actual damage.

A good source is the Santino Bros Wrestling Academy out in Cali. They have a playlist on their YouTube channel showing the basics of almost any wrestling move you'd wanna know and learn. Watch some of em and you can see the tricks.

Honestly if you see kbin magazines that are just empty and unused (as you said, lots of people have made placeholder magazines during the Redditpocalypse and then it took time to see if people would stick around, or settle on a specific magazine)), check if the owner is awol for more than a month and if so, claim the magazine and set it to delete. Ernest goes in and will clear them out (tho he's a bit behind I assume due to all the work he's doing right now on the software) but it will help with getting the unused ones cleared out. I got well over a dozen of em scheduled to be deleted myself, as well as 10 or so others already deleted.

Exactly.

And please don't anyone get me wrong, I'm in no way saying "Lol fuck these struggling cunts, fuck the poors!" or "Lol minimum wage is enough just do your jobs", I am not. I am 100% behind Fuck-you-I-ain't-going-above-and-beyond-for-a-pittance*. If you get paid $15/h, give your boss not a single fucking penny more than $15/h's worth. If you're in the US and get whatever $7/h bullshit arsed shit you all haven't rioted about yet, then by all means give your boss not a single penny's worth of labour above $7/h.

But there's a difference between 'doing 125% when you're being paid dogshit wages and the company gets extra labor out of you for free' and 'well I don't care about this job so I'm not even going to attempt the literal minimum.' If you're getting paid $7/$15 per hour, you do need to at least give $7/$15 worth of labour, not $3.5/$7 worth.

Was about to say lol. Right in those last days/weeks of Google Reader, Feedly loudly stepped up and offered to help people import their data over and continue on right in the nick of time. I'd assume the majority of people who had been on Reader, who didn't quit using feeds entirely, probably migrated to Feedly the day Reader shut down.

I do not drink, but if we can swap this for 10 bowls from now: Shredding a slab of slow cooker pork and playing 64man 2fort in TF2.

Edit: Alright well it's been 7ish but the pulled pork is delicious and I've been burning up spy's in sewers so I guess it all worked out.

It’s really satisfying having someone to share your collection with. I moved in with my now-fiancée late last year and it’s so fun watching it grow to suit us both.

Ditto. I started my Plex server about 11-12ish years ago for myself and my wife. Nowadays we're sharing 30TB to almost 20 of our combined friends and none of em pay for subscriptions anymore lmao.

My wife and I are on ODSP and living in a rent controlled 2br apartment for just under $1200. We've been here 13 years. If we got evicted tomorrow I'm pretty sure my next living space will be a pine box with or without an above-ground-view.

Disabling voice/text chat is usually my first go-to with almost any online game cause of shit like this lmao.

[-] GeekFTW@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

This is the kind of content I come to Kbin for lol.

[-] GeekFTW@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah that's a CAM. Not the same thing. Most movies get cam copies online within a day or so of being in theatres.

So I'm on Kbin.social right now. Let's say I wanna view our gaming community. like how Reddit has:

Reddit.com/r/Subredditname

I would go to:

kbin.social/m/magazinename

You on lemmy.world would go to:

lemmy.world/c/communityname

Super simple so far I hope lol.

Now whichever one is applicable to you (and if you're on other instances, sub in the url where appropriate.

Let's say I on kbin wanna see your gaming community. If I did kbin.social/m/gaming, I would get mine. The url though can act like how an email address does, by adding a domain to the end of it. So if I did kbin.social/m/gaming@lemmy.world, I'll see your gaming community. Same if you do lemmy.world/c/gaming you see yours, but lemmy.world/c/gaming@kbin.social you should see ours.

If I got those URL's right that is lol
